I’m enthusiastic about fisting…
I spend a fair bit of time in 'Murica
I used to think that the stereotype of the stupid yank was just that, nothing more than a stereotype
Sure, there are millions of normal, intelligent people, but there are a huge and concerning number who are exactly as stupid as they are portrayed
The casual religiousity is damning, and when people believe in one absurdity they are primed to believe in others too
People are choosing stupidity
Is it because it’s easier than getting proper news from reputable sources or something?
OP included this
If you think lemmy is immune to outside agitators, then you’re kidding yourself
I’m certain that there are interested groups trying to whip up a few lunatics so that “the left” can be pitted against the right, and blamed for violence, but there’s no doubt that there’s a far larger audience of people in the US who are eager to lean into fascism and spill blood when they are encouraged
This is bullshit
Trying to pretend that there’s a concerted far-left effort to create civil war in 'Murica is patently absurd
Sure, there may be a handful of nutters, but they pale in comparison to the number of far-right who are actively lusting for the blood of the people they hate and fear
Well, we already know that the religious are stupid
Technology just helps them to be stupid more efficiently
That’s be pretty sweet!
They go up and down, but I’m hoping that with some patience and treats, I can train it to do more
I’m in a BYD, and I actually feel better connected due to the regenerative braking
I’m normally on a motorbike, so I use my gears to control speed almost entirely
With a manual car, I can actually drive it properly, but most of the vehicles I have to drive are automatics, which I have always disliked
With my little car, I feel much more “part of” it. It’s very responsive and I’m able to do so much without touching the brakes
I pretty much ignore the “tech” apart from occasionally telling it to change the temperature or do something with a window
What you can’t see is the koala with chlamydia in the background, about to be eaten by a drop-bear
He also failed at the first hurdle
He’d make a statement, and then demand that people prove him wrong
The burden of proof is on the person making the claim
He was disingenuous from the start (which is no surprise, because he was a cunt)
